Control arm

The conventional therapy arm will undergo debridement with either a powered microdebrider or cold instrumentation excision as per the preference of the individual surgeon. Debridement will be deemed complete after removal of gross papilloma to the extent that the individual surgeon feels can be safely accomplished. Standard microsurgical principles of the larynx will guide debridement in that no opposing mucosal surfaces of the true vocal folds, laryngeal ventricle or inter-arytenoid space will be simultaneously debrided
